Advanced Defence Training Instructor (ADTI)

Course Overview

Building skills for future readiness takes creativity and effectiveness in the classroom, wherever that may be. All trainers and instructors need to update their skills to work with the learners of today. Reduced attention spans, diverse learning needs and a greater need for motivation and encouragement, means that traditional lessons are less effective than ever before.

Our Advanced Defence Training Instructor course is designed to build on current abilities, with proven techniques for the modern teaching environment, boosting information retention and increasing engagement and motivation.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Working effectively with the learners of today requires a new approach to training. Instructors and trainers need additional tools and techniques to maintain attention, engage learners with differing needs and maintain their motivation.

Each course is designed to address the needs of the instructors, the training and the mix of students they will be working with. An holistic assessment approach is taken throughout the course and homework is issued after most sessions.

The programme culminates in an assessed session, either in the form of a ‘micro-teach’ (small portion of a larger lesson) that incorporates the techniques taught, or by way of preparing and defending a lesson plan for a 45-min session.

A report on the performance of individual participants (with grading) is provided after the programme is complete.
